How does the author, Hemadpant, describe his role in writing the Sai Satcharitra?

Hemadpant describes his role with great humility, viewing himself not as the true author but as a mere instrument for Sai Baba's will. In Chapter 14, he states, "I am just doing Sai's service; I am His record-keeper and His obedient servant." He further elaborates that Sai Himself is the prompter of the speech and the narrator of His own story, and that Hemadpant is just a pretext through whom Sai satisfies His devotees. He sees the entire composition as Sai's play, or Leela, and his service as a form of mental and vocal worship.
